"About the meat…" and when they felt they'd gain little in the end, William slowly added, "you can have it. Distribute the meat after salting it properly. Store these in your rings, as we'll depend on this meat for a long time."
William knew that eating monster meat wasn't just used as a tasty and rich food in energy, it could even support one's physique and enhance one's spirit power to a limit.
The knowledge about eating monster meat was quite limited in this world compared to the outside one. Eating monster's meat of higher grade wouldn't just enhance one's physique and power, but also would help in cleansing all the impurities in one's meridians and main nodes, ending up accelerating the speed of one's training and increase in spirit power as a result.
William didn't expose any of that, and simply let them accept such trivial gain in their eyes.
As for when they'd realise how precious and extremely rare this chance was, William didn't care or even think about that.
His thoughts drifted and focused on a single thing… The monster's core!
He managed to deal such a deadly blow to the monster, killing any spark of life inside it, revealing his strength in front of the team, to just be able to absorb it.
And he couldn't help but crave to test how a gold grade core would do to him.
'Patience!' he said to himself, while watching everyone spread out to work.
He knew getting such a high-grade core was awesome, but he also feared the risk of overflowing with energy, ending up severing his body or even worse.
The team got divided into two parts, one went after Sara, holding the materials and the scroll William left to make the array. And the other part, the major part, just stood around the hole, waiting for the dust to settle.
They kept sneezing and coughing from time to time, not annoyed by any of that.
Berry finally left William's embrace with a rosy face. It was her luck that everyone was absorbed in imagining their loot and gains from this monster and didn't spare her even a glance.
She walked away without saying anything, moved slightly away from William, but not that far to not see him.
"Come back at once!" William used these moments of peace, took out all the five Bullets of the five scouts, and issued them this order.
[Why? Do you need our help?] Smith was the one who was courageous and arrogant enough to argue and question William back.
"You are the ones in danger, not us!" William said this to all, not just Smith, "don't get delayed," he paused before adding, "come here as fast as possible."
[You are the boss]
[We are coming!]
[On the way!]
"It's cleared!"
"The dust has cleared out!"
And just as William received responses from everyone in the scout team, he heard such shouts from the team members around.
He stored the Bullets and turned to see the thick dust getting pushed away using a wind technique from one of the dudes in the team.
It seemed these folks here grew restless and didn't want to wait for the dust to normally settle down.
"Wow! How the heck did the boss' attack do all this?!!"
Just before William would draw closer and inspect the hole as they did, one of the white members exclaimed in immense disbelief, turned towards William and watched him in a mix of fear, awe, and admiration.
He wasn't the only one to turn towards William and watch him in such a way, everyone else did. Those who were bronze grade or weaker looked in more fear than awe. As for those five vice leaders of his, alongside all the silver dudes here, they gave William a look full of doubt and held tons of questions.
William felt how weird this atmosphere was, so he continued walking forward, enough for him to see the hole clearly.
"Holy sh*t! What the hell is that?!!"
And just as he reached close enough, he saw what others spotted.
The original ten metre depth hole with almost fifty metres in radius vanished and got replaced with a much deeper and a lot larger hole than before.
The hole was at least fifty metres in depth, around one hundred and fifty metres in diameter. And that wasn't all!
At the bottom, he could see many parts of the monster scattered around, seemingly like the monster got cut clean with a sharp and giant knife, dividing its immense body into small slices and pieces!
It was as if a skilled chef chopped and arranged this monster, ending up with many pieces that weren't much larger than half a metre in length.
That made the leftovers of this monster scatter and cover up most of the bottom down there.
At two different locations, seemingly a bit deeper than other areas at the bottom, bright brown liquid gathered, forming two small ponds down there.
This was an entirely different hole from what the team experienced before William released his two mysterious explosions. It was very normal for everyone to feel quite shocked, looking at William in such a way.
After all, all this was his doing. They all struggled to keep that monster at bay, and William just needed to issue two explosive techniques, ending up getting the monster killed, the hole deepened, and forming these two weird looking pools of brown blood.
And the scariest thing that those stronger members thought about was that William did all this without consuming much of his spirit power!
Not many got used to thinking about spirit power consumption rate like William. But the strong ones were more experienced than others. They knew if one used such a strong and deadly move, he'd end up quite exhausted without doubt, not able to raise a finger!
As for the one who did all this, William, he was feeling more shocked than everyone else!
